Someone mentioned Kliff Kingsbury as a HC candidate.

I wonder if keeping Steele and having KKs offense would be a good match?

I don't know a lot about his offensive style. I know they score points. But points outside of the SEC is subjective.

Do. Not. Want. Would. Not. Work.

We need to go hard nosed IF we do anything (and not sure we should, yet). Think Mark Dantonio but younger.

Dantonio is old. Who is his younger doppelgänger?

Narduzzi at Pitt is a close facsimile but he's not sexy enough for the PTB. And he has no ties to Auburn.

I'm not even necessarily calling for Malzahn to be fired.  We just have to decide what we're willing to tolerate. 

Giant TVs and corporatized tailgating?  Obnoxious music blaring from blind-o-vision as opposed to the fantastic Auburn band setting the tone?  A head coach who is clearly learning (and fucking up) on the job?  A head coach who is now panic-coaching as opposed to actually developing players? 

Something has to change and it has to change at the top.  Jay Jacobs is a slimy weasel.  I knew it from the first time I went to Auburn after he became AD and watched the drastic change in how things were handled than they were under his predecessor.  David Housel was gracious, he was friendly, he was approachable, he was good with people.  Jacobs is a prima donna assclown whose actual value is a mere fraction of his perceived self-worth.  He is, without peer, the biggest assbaby I've ever met who was associated with Auburn.  Everything from his $200 gel haircut to his pussy-soft flabby handshake reeks of douchenozzle.

I knew when he ditched the decent meals served in the pressbox and instead had us served fucked up stadium dogs and some stale cookies that he was a dumbass.

He froze Tuberville out by acting like a bitch and failing to support him, sabotaged his assistant coaching hires and eventually ran him out of town.  He hired Chizik. He hired Malzahn.  Not because they were the best for the job but because he went to church with Chizik and wanted to tweak Tuberville and because Gus was a godly Auburn man.  Pfftttt.

One ugly departure and two pretty shitty hires.  What coach in his right mind would take a job at Auburn now as long as that fleshy dough fuck is AD?  Jacobs has poisoned the position.  We used to be a place a coach would want to be.  We have money, facilities, dedicated fans, a strong alumni base and all the tools anyone needs to win at a Top 10 level.  Now?  Every job in the SEC with the exception of Kentucky, Missouri and Vandy are as good or better than ours.  If it's down to us and LSU? Us and A&M? Us and Florida? Us and Georgia? Us and Tennessee?  We're not getting the guy we want.

Everything Jay Jacobs has done, with the exception of hiring Cliff Meyers and possibly hiring Bruce Pearl, has been detrimental to the program.  Baseball is a twat waffle after once being one of the SEC's flagship programs.  He destroyed the swimming program by being a jackass toward Marsh. Basketball will always be basketball but maybe it'll be better.  I've yet to hear a single Auburn fan express anything but disdain or annoyance at his biggest accomplishment -- a big screen TV.   He's shredded the Auburn tailgating experience by selling out sections and pushing the fans back. 

Fuck Jay Jacobs.  I'd suffer a couple of 3-9 seasons if it would get his podunk ass demoted back to ticket salesman.

But seriously. Dead on. It's bigger than malzahn. Bigger than chizik. It's the oz behind the curtain. We can keep putting out lists. And looking to fire coaches and this and that. But none of the overall program fail will change until the cancer is removed from it. I see the tailgate changes every time I go up there. It sickens me. Anything remotely close to the stadium is farmed out for money. All the frickin rap music blaring over our band last night sickens me. That stupid big screen sickens me.

In 20 years, I expect an interesting study about the adverse effects of that thing on this area. And it will probably be buried by the PTB.

I said from the minute it was installed.  Fuck that monstrosity.  That "scoreboard" is hideous.  It ruined JHS and adds nothing to the atmosphere, unless you love "Fan Cam" every spare second of the game.  That's probably the most wasted money in the history of college football. 

I'll say this again.  Was up in Chicago and rode by Soldier Field. They had recently renovated the stadium.  I was like, WTF is that?  The driver said it looks like an alien ship came and landed on our stadium.  Yep, and they stopped off in Auburn and dropped one of their alien craft on the end of our stadium. 

And those of you that haven't been, the comments on them blaring the music over our own band are 100% correct.  It's embarrassing.

This feels like deja vu all over again.  I was equally as pissed with Tubs in 2008.  I realize the situation is not exactly the same, but it's close enough imo.  I'm just ready to see what someone else can do with these players.  It's pretty damn obvious Gus has no clue what to do with them.
